Description

Ecological buoy with control device a distance.

Object of the invention

The present specification refers to a Utility Model application for an ecological buoy with remote control device, whose purpose is based on be established as a mooring element for boats that do not spoil the seabed with their own funding and also that it serves as an element of polarization of the fauna of the zone. The remote control allows you to properly distribute the moorings and allows monitoring the correct use of it by authorized persons.

Field of the Invention

This invention has its application within the auxiliary maritime industry, and especially dedicated to the manufacture of anchoring buoys and other auxiliary elements.

Background of the invention

In the state of the art several are known types of buoys with different characteristics, both technical and of use

Specifically, the applicant knows the existence of International Invention Patent W09317334 (MCCOY Patent) for water quality measurement, but this embodiment also of not describing the internal structure of the device, it does not incorporate No optical signaling of your location, element paramount in the patent we advocate.

The existence of the Spanish invention patent ES 2209641, relating to "Buoy of water quality measure ", requested on November 20, 2002, but incorporating a means of communication and measurement of water parameters that have nothing to do with the technical characteristics claimed herein request.

US Patents 2002054828 (GRANA Patent) and US 4157657 (HINCHMAN patent) are further away from the object of the patent that we recommend.

For its part, the applicant is unaware of the existence of some invention with the characteristics that they advocate in this description.

Description of the invention

To solve the inconveniences and problems raised above is why it develops in the present memory an ecological buoy with control device to distance and that is constituted by several elements, Among those that stand out:

- First, the whole set is subject to the seabed by a heavy element, such as a concrete block to which several tunnels have been practiced.

- From an upper ring anchored to the element heavy by means of a piece of chain and a sturdy rope Find the buoy proper. Said buoy counts in your interior with several watertight compartments that include detectors of humidity and radio transmitters with their corresponding antenna.

- On the outside of the buoy you can see the  following elements: a solar energy accumulator; two luminous devices of different color and a plate of ID.

- At the top of the buoy is a mooring line for the designated boat to use conveniently

Within the same invention is the external device for control and maintenance of the set, which channel the buoy mooring requests, identify if it is occupied or not and also identifies the operating situation correct information.

Therefore, the invention constitutes an element of help and preservation of the important environment and new.

Preferred embodiments of the invention

The ecological buoy with remote control that the The invention is at least constituted by following elements:

First of all the whole set is subject to the seabed by what in the maritime language It is known as a "dead", which is a heavy element deposited at the bottom of the sea (1), consisting of an element heavy as can be a concrete block or a scrap block or mix of both. This item is funded by its own weight at the bottom of the sea and will have a weight and dimensions according to the existing depth and the length of the boat to tie the buoy (7) to which it is attached.

In the body of the heavy element deposited in at the bottom of the sea (1) there are tunnels (2) that they cross and that will serve to provide housing and development to the marine fauna and flora of the place, placing them safe from predators and creating a sustainable habitat.

On top of the heavy element deposited at the bottom of the sea (1) is a solid ring (3), anchored to the heavy element deposited at the bottom of the sea (1), and where a piece of chain (4) will be attached, which instead it will be solidly attached to a stubborn piece of rope (5), being this set of out more chain the means of attachment between the heavy element deposited at the bottom of the sea (1) and the body of the buoy (7), which will be attached by anchoring to the clamping shaft (8).

At the end (5) and at an approximate height of 1.5 meters from the sea surface, a piece of a material capable of polarizing biological developments. Saying material can be cork, wood or similar.

At the end of the end (5) is the body of the buoy (7), floating and that is composed at least of the following elements:

- On the bottom is the axis of clamping (8), which serves as an anchor to the end (5) and therefore of firm attachment to the heavy element deposited at the bottom of the sea (one).

- Count the body of the buoy (7) inside with a watertight compartment (G) (13) that includes inside another watertight compartment (p), which in turn includes a radio-transmitter-receiver (11) with its corresponding antenna (12) which will allow communication and sending and receiving communications for the functions that We'll see later.

- The watertight compartment (G) (13) also inside it contains a humidity detector (14) with a connection (15) of the detector (14) with the radio-transmitter-receiver (11). This device will allow in case an increase is detected excessive moisture inside the buoy, automatically by means of radio-emitter-detector (11) se will send the corresponding message to the control center and follow-up (20), which will give the order for a technician to move for its control and / or repair.

On the outside of the buoy (7) you can see the following elements:

- A conventional set of solar panels with  energy accumulator (16) which will be the device that will supply the energy necessary for the operation of the radio-transmitter-receiver (11), as of the luminous device (17), the latter being constituted preferably by two luminous panels of different color of so that each of the colors indicates one of the situations of operation in which the buoy is located; that is free or reserved. The order for the reservation of the same is received in the control and maintenance center (20) which in turn issues a order to the radio-transmitter-receiver to modify the color of the luminous device, going from free to busy and vice versa.

- It also has the buoy with a plate identification (17 ') in order that the vessel that has reserved the mooring can identify perfectly which is the buoy assigned of all existing nearby.

- As a mooring element for the boat assigned, the buoy (7) has a ring at the top (18) that anchors a strong end (19) and that will help the assigned boat is moored.

Finally, the invention also has a control and monitoring center (20).

This center channels the mooring requests of vessels either by phone, via marine VHF or by adequate medium, assigning one of the buoys found in situation of free and that is identified by means of the identification (17 '). Once the buoy has been assigned, the center will connect with him radio-transmitter-receiver passing the Color change order of the luminous device (17) for indicate to any vessel that the situation of Said buoy is reserved.

The ecological buoy with a control device distance as a whole constitutes an ecological and respectful environment to the important environment.

On the one hand it incorporates into its constitution elements of help and preservation of the environment as we have already described when we talk about the tunnels (2) or the piece (6).

But it also has a more important function if It is possible to replace the traditional way of anchoring the boats through the anchor and its corresponding chain. Every once a boat launches the anchor to the seabed and then the collects, is producing a significant erosion of the bottom, plucking flora and destabilizing the fauna of the place; and if I know It is a very busy place, as usually happens in anchorages most attractive (natural parks, very protected bays of the winds, etc.), after a while the funds end shattered

Therefore, this type of funding with this type of buoy can be considered of great ecological and protective value of the marine environment.

Describe sufficiently the nature of the invention, as well as how to put it into practice, should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to modifications of detail as long as they do not alter its principles fundamental, established in the previous paragraphs and summarized in the following claims.
